your life. You may have fewer
options but your past experience
will help you. 3 stars
■ TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Make abrupt changes without
giving anyone too much notice
- the reactions you observe
will help you make decisions

revealed about things you have
been excluded from in the past.

■ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Look
out for those taking advantage of
you. You are used to keeping
the peace and sharing with the
people you are close to but, once
a relationship loses its equality,
you are left with little choice. 3
stars
■ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Personal changes may not
please everyone but it’s you who
has to be happy with the altera
tions you make. A partnership
you are in needs a little shake
before you can carry on. Provide
your family or roommates with a
place to work, Dlav or just hang

■ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Love is hot and by splitting costs
with someone who likes to do the
